What My Happy Couples Have to Say
All my testimonials come from real (in Bluey’s words - for real life!) couples whose weddings I’ve had the joy of officiating—no paid reviews, no dodgy ‘mates’ reviews, just honest, transparent feedback.
And while I’d happily own any negative or unsavoury reviews (and not remove them), I’m thrilled to say I simply don’t have any!

Melissa is an incredible marriage celebrant, bringing a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every ceremony. Her meticulous attention to detail ensures that every aspect of your special day is flawlessly executed. Melissa's organisational skills are unmatched, keeping everything running smoothly from start to finish. What truly sets her apart is her approachable nature; she listens attentively to your vision and works tirelessly to bring it to life. Having Melissa as our celebrant was an absolute blessing and undoubtedly enhanced our wedding experience. She is an invaluable asset, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a celebrant who truly cares about making your day unforgettable.

From the moment we met Melissa we were very confident that we wanted Melissa to be our Celabrant. We didn’t even look at anyone else. Melissa took the worry out of what am I going to say and what if I get too nervous and forget what to say … she kept us calm and was such a delight to work with. If I had a question Melissa had an answer straight away and helped us with our material. On the day of our rehearsal Melissa was very patient and attentive with us, she made sure we were comfortable with everything. One the day of our wedding I cannot praise Melissa highly enough - she was amazing and completed our day. I would strongly recommend engaging Melissa as your Celabrant. Thank you so much x

If there was 100 stars to give Melissa would get them all! Melissa hands down made our entire wedding!! My husband and I wanted a relaxed wedding at our favourite restaurant and wanted to get married fairly quickly so we could skip the wild wedding pressures and planning. I met Melissa at a wedding expo and I knew I wanted her to be apart of our day, once my husband met her we agreed we would choose our wedding date around when Melissa was available and I’m grateful we did every day!
Melissa went above and beyond to make our day special, meeting us at the venue for site visits, calls, emails and then in the week leading to the wedding we had some hiccups with the schedule with the venue and Melissa saved the day by also being the on the day coordinator.
After saying yes to marrying your person, your next decision should be to say yes to Melissa being your celebrant.

Melissa was our celebrant and MC for our ceremony and reception in October 2023 - and wow! Where do I even begin. She went above and beyond constantly - helping us with our timelines, going through the details (where do we stand, do our vows sound ok, when are the rings brought forward), helping us change all timings due to an unexpected external event, to helping us move things between our ceremony and reception venues. Nothing was too much that she couldn't handle, and knowing this made me feel better on the day. Our guests also enjoyed having the continuality of her MC the reception, and were so impressed that everything ran exactly on time, thanks to Melissa. She is incredible!

Melissa was amazing from the 1st email, she actually took the time to reply to my email personally and not just copy and paste the same email like other celebrants had done when I inquired about their service. Melissa was flexible with our wedding as we needed to change the date and bring it forward. She also was able to change our wedding package without issue as we were going from a big wedding to immediate family only and her pricing reflected that.
The whole process with paperwork, legals and planning of the day was seamless and not a stress at all. Her website is very well done and easy to use. She also had some very handy information about vow writing which my husband and I used. On the day she was perfect; her personality was like a ray of sunshine. She captured everything about my husband and me (my family also commented on that as well)
She was also able to assist us with my toddler during the family photos, which was a godsend. If we ever need a celebrant in the future Melissa will be the first one I call, and I will always recommend her to anyone who plans on getting married in the future. 100/100

Melissa from day one has been the most relaxed, bubbly and supportive celebrant. For the first 6 months of wedding planning we were living remote. From every phone call to finally meeting her in person 6 months later we were made to feel so important and heard. She understood exactly what we wanted and was so helpful and full of tips. If you are wanting a fun, loving and relaxed celebrant then I couldn’t recommend melissa enough. Plus her organisation is next level!

We cannot thank you enough for creating our beautiful ceremony. From the start, you were very quick to respond to emails and explained the whole process. You took the time to come and meet our family and get to know us. You are very professional but also a whole lot of fun and calming at the same time. You definitely fit in with our bridal squad. Thank you for going to the extra effort of acting as our wedding coordinator, on the day. Love Amy and Wade x
